BVN Submissions

The Bank Verification Number (BVN) initiative is a centralized biometric identification system for each Nigerian banking customer. It’s an identification process that uniquely verifies each banking customer’s status in Nigerian central banking database. This is a mandatory requirement for any Nigerian that has a bank account. Customers who fail to complete their BVN registration would be unable to complete banking transactions because they do not exist in the Central database. Your Know Your Customer’ (KYC) process is incomplete without finalizing your BVN registration.

The BVN is the safest way to ensure cashless banking succeeds because it address issues of identity theft and reduces exposure to online fraud. To secure your bank accounts and enroll for your BVN
